Common Causes of Chipped or Broken Teeth

Teeth can chip or break from biting hard foods or objects, facial trauma or accidents, tooth decay weakening the structure, large old fillings, teeth grinding or clenching, or sudden temperature changes. Whatever the cause, prompt treatment is important to prevent further damage and complications.

Treatment Options

Dr. Adam Schneider, Dr. Katie Staub, or Dr. Thomas Tran will recommend treatment based on the extent of damage:

• Dental Bonding - For minor chips, quick and affordable repair
• Dental Veneers - For front teeth with moderate damage
• Dental Crowns - For severely broken teeth, often same-day
• Root Canal Therapy - If the break exposes the tooth's nerve
• Extraction - Only if the tooth cannot be saved

What to Do If You Chip or Break a Tooth

Rinse your mouth with warm water, save any tooth fragments if possible, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling, take over-the-counter pain medication if needed, and call us immediately. We'll schedule you as soon as possible, often the same day for emergencies.
